Kilsheelan Kilcash

GAA

The South Senior Football Final was held in Monroe on Sunday evening. Kilsheelan would have entered the fray as underdogs against the reigning County champions Clonmel Commercials but they reached the final on merit and hopes were high of an upset after a 30 year wait. Our side were just a point in arrears at the break. Commercials began to dominate in the second half and went on to win comfortably. Credit to Kilsheelan they tried their utmost and still have the County series to look forward to.

The Intermediate Hurling team will face favourites Ballybacon-Grange in the South Semi Final next Sunday at 1.15pm in the Clonmel Sportsfield.

In Minor Hurling we played St Mary’s in Monroe. Our panel consisted of ten Minors and seven U16s. They were evenly matched in the first half with Kilsheelan leading by 1-6 to 1-5 at the break. We lost by 3-11 to 1-7. They will take to the field against Ballingarry this Wednesday in Fethard at 6.15pm. The U12 Group 4 have a very busy schedule away to St Mary’s this Thursday at 6.30pm, away to Ballingarry on Sunday (8th) at 12noon, at home to Carrick Davins on Thursday (12th) at 6.30pm and Moyle Rovers on Saturday 14th at 12noon and finally away to Father Sheehy’s at 6.30pm on Monday, September 16.

The Late Michael Murphy

There was a great sense of shock throughout the region on Saturday when news broke of the tragic death of Michael Murphy, a 14 year old from Glanworth who died following a fall from a tractor. Michael was a very keen sportsman at hurling, football and soccer. He was also very keen in farm machinery. There was a huge gathering at his funeral on Sunday and Monday in Glanworth.

Interment took place in St Dominic’s Cemetery.

Members of the Glanworth GAA friends and school mates at St Colman’s Fermoy formed a guard of honour as the funeral left the home on Sunday night to the local Church.

Mullinahone

Successful Festival

The annual C.J.Kickham’s hurling festival, on Saturday, began with all the teams marching through the street behind the Carrick-on Suir band. In Kickham Park the festival was blessed and declared open by Fr. John McGrath PP Mullinahone with Sean Nugent, Chairman of Tipperary Co. Board and Joe Brennan, Chairman of the South Board present. The adjoining GAA field and the nearby soccer pitch on the Callan Road soon echoed to the clash of the ash and the shouts of the spectators as approximately 640 hurlers battled it out in U12 go games and U10 ground hurling. During the day 60 matches were played - the equivalent of 24 hours of non-stop hurling. 16 teams representing 14 counties took part in 4 round robin sections in U12. In division 4 victory went to Co. Meath represented by Kildalkey. They were awarded the Shield trophy. Division 3 winners were from Cappataggle, Co. Galway who received the Johnny Kennedy trophy. Division 2 for the Tess McNamara Cup was a battle between the home club and the Offaly representatives Kilcormac-Killoughy who pulled away in the second half. The premier division final had an unique hurling pairing. Tyrone Eoghan Ruadhs from Dungannon played Carlow’s Myshal and victory in a classic game went to the Tyrone lads. This is the third year in a row that the C.J.Kickham Cup has gone to Northern Ireland. The U10 ground hurling winners were Mullinahone C.J.Kickhams who defeated Carrick Swan 4-3.
